I’m not sure if I’m enjoying this break-up-like song a little too much, but Kristian Jackson’s song Set You Free really is super catchy, with honest lyrics and even a sprinkling of saxxy-jazz in it. - Miss Andie Podcast & Blog

Kristian Jackson submitted his music to me after reaching out to Erk at ErkFM and Insomnia Radio: Australia. I couldn’t have been happier. Jackson’s album “Blood Eyes Sunrise” is one of the finest independent productions I’ve heard this year. As a multi-instrumentalist, he brings a wealth of talent to the album, not only as the singer-songwriter, but as a performing artist. Production by Sean Carey (Thirsty Merc) is top notch. - Rich Palmer (Audio Gumshoe)
Kristian Jackson’s debut release, Blood Eyes Sunrise, demonstrates his immense talent. A versatile album, the Sydney based singer-songwriter flourishes during his emotional ballads and leaves his mark on the more upbeat, jazz infused numbers. Eleven tracks of heavy-hitting percussion, powerful vocals and striking musical accompaniment, Blood Eyes Sunrise has much to offer the listener. Never quite sure what he’ll do next, the LP remains exciting and captivating. - Annie Reuter
I really enjoyed your music. You have a great voice and the chord structure of the chorus is very unique... Thank you for letting me listen. - Jack Douglas - Producer (John Lennon, Aerosmith, New York Dolls, Miles Davis)

A pleasant sounding indie pop tune sounding like a jazzier version of Weezer or Pavement. The song has a very smooth sound throughout with all the different elements fitting together well....... a good listen that shows a lot of potential - Triple J Unearthed

Bio
Sydney based singer-songwriter Kristian Jackson has a sound that is difficult to pigeonhole. Meeting somewhere in between classic rock and modern pop, with hints of jazzy undertones, Jackson draws inspiration from a diverse musical background. Kristian has gained the reputation of being a highly talented and dynamic performer, regardless of whether playing solo or with his full, 11-piece, band. Kristian apart from the crowd is his earnest vocals and honest lyrics set against thoughtful and well structured compositions. He has managed to craft some wonderful pop songs without ever relying on clichs to give his songs momentum.
Kristian makes his musical intentions clear, Theres no reason why popular music cant be both interesting and accessible. I'm trying to make music with enough depth to sustain the interest of the most discerning listener while simultaneously capturing the heart of a mass audience.
A multi instrumentalist, Kristian recorded vocals, guitars, piano, saxophone and several more instruments on his debut release 'Blood Eyes Sunrise' which he co-produced with Sean Carey (Thirsty Merc, Trackdown Studios).
Kristian is also currently developing a live music scene for original music in his hometown, Penrith, NSW.
